Every day, you use a multitude of physical objects and a variety of services.  Most of the physical objects have been manufactured, and people within organizations have provided most of the services.  Every organization has an operations function, whether or not it is called “operations,” such as the management of customer service functions like customer care and technical support.

 

In this lesson will give an overview of the basic functions within operations management.  We will also go over Information Systems or IS, and Information Technology or IT.  These two functions sometimes are combined into one group so we will discuss them as one unified group.  There will be a discussion on disaster planning as well.

 

We will also discuss customer service and the duties of technical support, along with an overview of Human Resources or HR.
